Following the death of Cheever, satanic priest and all round dastardly geezer in the first wonderful entry, there is a new opening for one of his followers to take his place. Sure enough, via a series of vicious boxing duels a chap called Hugh(!) assumes the mantle. It now once again falls upon unlikely superhero Catman and his friend Gus to finish the group once and for all.
OK, I'll cut straight to the chase here; The first film, Catman In Lethal Track, was hands down a true bad movie classic on account of its consistently priceless dialogue, hilarious over acting from everyone involved, stupefying voice over work and enough daft scenes to sink even the Bismark. So what's wrong with the sequel you may well ask? Well, simply put, Catman is virtually not even in it! Instead Gus seems to headline here and even he appears in less than fifteen minutes. Matters are certainly not helped any either by the particularly awful Filipino 'action' drama into which the new Catman-less scenes are edited. Sure there's plenty of fights in it......actually that's all the protagonists seem to do in fact, but by gum, sitting through it is much akin to watching the skin form on custard. I'm further sad to report that even the dialogue has been drastically tamed down for this entry save for a few priceless little nuggets. A genuine shame all in all although I will say that the final five or so minutes are admittedly tremendous fun!
